Cousins-Milton-Winter Memorial IBT
When & where: Friday & Saturday at St Cloud.
Local teams in the field: Dr Phillips, Flagler Palm Coast, Lake Brantley, Middleburg, Seminole, University (Orange City), West Orange, Winter Park, Yulee.
Defending champion: South Dade.
Returning individual champions: Landon Trigueros (Poinciana); Luis Acevedo (South Dade); Ryan Phillips (Winter Springs); James Gonzalez (Winter Park); Gavin Balmeceda (South Dade); Elijah Penton (Winter Springs); Ansel Cervantes (South Dade); Sawyer Bartelt (South Dade).
Synopsis: A good chance to get a scrap against some different kids this weekend; though Sweet 16 duals competitors Middleburg and Yulee are in this field, they will be doing well to grab a top-3 finish here, as 3A defending champion South Dade is here, plus a pair of central Florida strong programs in Harmony and Winter Springs. Should be an opportunity for a top-five showing for the stronger Region 1 teams; top-three would be very, very impressive indeed.
